"A presumed Filipina maid working at a girls’ college in Saudi Arabia was found to be a man several months after joining the institution.
Female teachers and students at the college in the Northeastern town of Hafr Al Batn have never suspected the maid to be a man although he worked every close to them.
But one student said she started later to suspect the maid because of the way he was walking and that she informed the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police.
“Commission members went to the college and interrogated the maid…they arrested him after finding he is a man,” Sada newspaper said."
"Melissa" was being blackmailed by her boyfriend that she met online. She was asked to send nude photos of her, and later, was asked for money in exchange so he will not post her photos online.

Melissa asked help from NBI when she comes home to the Philippines and the NBI was able to apprehend the man with the nude photos of the OFW on his mobile. He also possessed several simcards and NBI suspects that he is victimizing other OFWs.
Ilang beses na kayong pinaalalahanan. Ilang beses na kayong sinabihan. Huwag basta magtiwala kaninuman kahit BF nyo pa. Lalo na kung sa Social Media nyo lang sya nakilala.

An OFW in Hongkong has been arrested for stealing two baby wipes, a pair of shoes, blankets, t-shirts, two towels, five handkerchiefs, and a toy car from her employer. Except for the wipes and pair of shoes, all other items were already used.
The 45 year-old Filipina OFW, named Imelda admitted to the crime.
She has been working for her employer since June, and she has decided to terminate her contract because her husband found an employment in UAE, On Oct. 31, when she was about to leave, her employer checked her luggage and found her old belongings.
Principal Magistrate Andrew Ma ordered her to pay a fine of $500 with the following warning:
“You came very close to an immediate custodial sentence,” Ma told Imelda during the hearing on December 1.“This is not a case of theft by finding or supermarket theft. When you left your employer’s family, you just brought along $550 worth of belongings. This is a case of breach of trust,” he added.
Besides ordering her to pay a fine, she was also sentenced to two weeks in prison but suspended it for two years.
This means that if Imelda does not commit a crime in Hong Kong in the next two years, she does not have to go to prison.

In the details, the maid repeatedly beat her employer with a glass vase and a metal stick used in weight lifting, until she smashed her head, and then called the victim's husband, Aziz Farhat, who had left the house earlier.
The husband rushed to the crime scene with Criminal Evidence teams and the coroner, where the maid was arrested.
In this regard, sources reported that a fight had erupted between the two women before the worker killed her employer."

The complications of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's Presidential bid has brought so many rumors with other possible options so he could run as presidential candidate. Last week, OFW Family Party List Rep. Roy SeƱeres offered him a chance to become his substitute with 3 conditions, along with this he must also transfer to his political party.
Mayor Duterte filed his COC already as a substitute for Martin DiƱo as PDP-Laban presidential candidate.
In a statement made by Mayor Duterte, he made it clear that without Allan Cayetano as his tandem (Vice President) he would withdraw. He also added that Comelec simply has to decide the matter legally and if his bid as Presidential candidate won't be accepted he will simply retire.
"I don’t have any problem with that if it is the decision of the Comelec,” he said.
“If the Comelec decides to disqualify me, so be it. I won’t die if I don’t become President,” Duterte said.
